Crysis Remastered Trilogy releases on October 15th and during its latest livestream, Crytek detailed all the tech and graphical improvements that are coming with Crysis 2 Remastered.
According to the team, Crysis 2 Remastered will feature improved post-processing, SSD, SVOGI, SSDO and SSGI. Moreover, the game will have better POM, as well as improved shadow technology. For instance, there will be shadows on grass, particles and water.
Crytek also claimed that there are around 150 unique CPU and GPU performance improvements. And, as we’ve already said, the PC version will support Ray Tracing and DLSS. Not only that, but the game will have better materials and textures, as well as vehicles, characters, weapons and various assets.
It will be interesting to see how Crysis 2 Remastered will stack up against Crysis 2 modded. After all, Crysis 2 with DX11 and Maldo’s Texture Pack looks amazing, even for today’s standards.
Stay tuned for more!

You stay destroying this dude and i burst out laughing every time i see your response.
Fernando evolving into a rumba is a beautiful thing
Shame that the dumb AI in enemies from a decade ago is still there….but the hat is new!
Epic games shills dont care
Crytek needs the money so I don’t blame them. I dont like epic exclusives, I hate the launcher, I despise their involvement with tencent BUT there are certain things I’ll buy.
For example dangerous driving from three fields entertainment. They are basically a tiny team of people who made the original burnout. I want to support them as a dev so I’ll buy their games from epic.
I’ll also buy a crytek game because they really do need the cash influx. It’s not their games I’m after either, it’s the engine, although I’ll gladly play the remasters. I want there to be more choices for devs than unreal & unity.
This is obviously only a big deal for indie’s but more choices. Id like to avoid all games looking similar because they use the same engine like we saw with ue3 during the 360/PS3 era
Dude Crytek would still get support they needed on steam and consoles, I been waiting for crysis 4 for god knows how long. But guess what dont care no more.
I know what you’re saying and I’ve also been waiting for a new crysis from them but they are still having financial issues.
It started during dev on Crysis 2. Essentially it looked like everything was going in the right direction for them. They expected the game to sell well and for more companies to license their engine.
So thinking things were looking good for the future they spent a TON of money opening new studios around the world. I believe they also purchased a couple small but established developers.
Basically they expanded too quickly, not enough companies licensed the engine and the studios they opened didn’t end up making much of anything.
By the time Crysis 3 was released they were already showing signs of being in financial trouble and they started closing the offices and studios they had only started a few years prior.
Ever since they have been having money troubles. That’s probably the biggest reason for these remasters. I mean… Remastering the original Crysis makes sense but 2 & 3 (especially 3) didn’t REALLY need to be remastered although I’m glad they are doing it.
It’s an interesting story, you should look it up if you’re interested in the business side of game development.
hhhmmmm that is interesting I ll read on it
Did you know I didnt know ?
good
I dont think you knew
for all the f@g bashing you do you have the g@yest user name…
Haha, finally someone notices that sh*t. He is the Faggiest person on this forum, yet walks around with a stick of judgement constantly pointing it at everyone else. The worse part is the idiot that actually converses with that fool. To add injury to insult, he constantly smell his own farts with the rhetoric that he spews.
It would be nice if Crytek finished optimizing the Crysis 1 remaster first.
I don’t think there is much more that can be done there. The only way that game would perform properly is if it was completely rewritten from the ground up.
Changing to a more modern version of the engine helped but there are core parts of the games codebase that need to be changed and at that point we are talking full on remake instead of remaster.
I’m not happy with it’s performance either but quite honesty it’s good enough on high end hardware which means in a GPU generation or 2 it will run flawlessly at 4k max settings without needing DLSS.
Love it when acronyms are just thrown in without any information as though we are supposed to know what they all mean – I feel dumb for not understanding it.
“Moreover, the game will have better POM”
Good to know but how many readers actually know what is a POM? Top result for Google says Page Object Model (POM) – is that it? Google also says POM is short for Pomeranian? Is that it? Or Power of Music? Sorry but even Google does not know what a POM is for a game.
“Crysis 2 Remastered will feature improved post-processing, SSD, SVOGI, SSDO and SSGI.”
Wait, Crysis 2 will feature a SSD – you mean a Solid State Drive? Are you saying that they added support for SSD – you mean it is not standard? I have installed games on my SSD, including some old games (like the original Tomb Raider series) but I don’t think they did anything to support SSD then…. Or are you saying they are bundling a SSD with the game?
The weather is quite nice today.

Yes, I am sure a Self-service Delivery Order (SSDO) and support from the Six Sigma Global Institute (SSGI) will be very useful for Crysis 2.

Honestly, if you’re at all familiar with computer graphics, every single thing on that slide makes perfect sense.
Did you look at the image? They expand all the acronyms there.
Don’t be dishonest.
Of all those techs, mostly just Crytek uses them of all major companies.
Nope, everything on that list except SVOGI is used by the entire industry.
Indeed they are and have been in use for a while now as well. Well aside from RT & DLSS.
Also it’s also correct that anyone interested in graphics technology, especially in gaming would have at least some idea of what these terms mean even if they don’t understand how they work.
What image? All I see is an ad for Nielsen, an ad for Staples and an ad for the Great America Haunt.
There is a picture at the bottom of the article that lists all the improvements. In that picture they state the full wording of the acronyms like SSGI, SVOGI, etc.
Get ublock origin already, it’s after 2010.
Where’s Crysis Warhead??
They lost the source code, LMAO.
All these improvements essentially just come from switching to the latest version of cryengine and changing the lighting system to something more modern… Also made possible by the engine.
Hopefully it runs better than crysis remastered because even with DLSS that game runs like garbage.
When it first came out I was on a i7 5820k (4.8ghz all core oc), 32 gigs of ddr4 and a 2080ti ftw3 ultra.
Now I’m on a 5800x with faster and lower latency memory and it still runs like terrible.
I have my fingers crossed that it’s just because crysis 1 requires significantly more work to be made to run well on modern systems and since the other games were made on newer versions of cryengine it should be easier to get the performance, especially with DLSS.
In what way does it look worse to you? To me it looks better. More realistic lighting, better performance, better AO and shadows. Better draw distances and in some cases better materials and textures.
